Sunday nights. Airport restaurants. In my car in a parking lot. In a friend’s kitchen. Hospital waiting room (lots of boring waiting around time to fill). While making dinner. On a walk. You name it.
Calling all small business owners! What does your non-traditional work set up look like?

This is what writing looks like for me (at least today it does). Laptop on my lap, in a dark room, watching The Hangover 3 because I’ll do anything to make my dad laugh 3 years post-stroke.
Please tell me what your non-traditional writing/work setup looks like so I don’t feel like a total fool.

With a lot of eyes and ears on where the US government is funneling money (👀 MN, ICE, trying to buy Greenland… you name it), I think it’s also important where they’re no longer spending money (already committed to fund). Cancer research. $640M in terminated research.

When I first typed this quote I accidentally mistyped “sleep is another a revolutionary mistake” and honestly, that would make a great spin off episode.
I’m lobbying Ed Helms or Kal Penn to tackle that for a crossover episode that the world needs right now.
